Hall Farmhouse

Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating to the mid-17th century, with substantial rebuilding in 1727. Later alterations were carried out in the 19th century and mid-20th century. The building is constructed of brick with a plain tile roof. It features a plinth, coped corner pilasters, moulded brick bands to the first and second floors, corbelled brick eaves and verges, and two coped brick ridge stacks. The house is two storeys plus garrets, with a three-bay west front. The west front has a recessed central section containing a late 18th-century six-panel door with flanking lights, pilasters, and overlight, protected by a flat slate hood inscribed 'N G 1727'. Flanking the door are 19th-century wooden cross casement windows with restored rubbed brick heads. Above the door is a similar cross casement, flanked in each wing by a cross casement with a rubbed brick head. Brick diaper work is visible on the south side, along with an altered basket arched opening with a late 18th-century four-panelled door and a 19th-century casement. Above are two three-light cross casements, the one to the right with leaded glazing. The north side has a 20th-century two-light cross casement to the left and a pair of half-glazed doors in a segmental headed opening to the right. Above these are two slightly off-centre three-light casements, one retaining remnants of leaded glazing. The double-gabled rear elevation was largely rebuilt around 1985 and includes a 19th-century mullioned stair light and a two-light sliding sash window. Other rear windows comprise a three-light glazing bar casement and several small 20th-century casements. Interior features include a central entrance hall with a patterned stone floor, a two-flight oak dogleg staircase with square newels, vase and stem balusters, a moulded handrail, and a moulded span beam. A north-west room has a moulded cornice and an east-facing slate fireplace flanked by round-headed cupboards with keystones and shaped shelves behind matching panelled doors. A north-west first-floor room features a small Classical slate fireplace, while a north-east first-floor room has an early 19th-century stone fireplace with a hob grate and an 18th-century four-panelled door. Other rooms retain ceiling beams with ogee stops and five 18th-century plank doors. The roof is a double purlin structure, mainly of re-used timber.
